Yes, and global warming has had a direct effect of the shrinking number of pirates since the 1800s....the curve is almost perfect.
Correlation is not causation. I am not a fan of various "stay safe committee" stats.
The percentage of alcohol related deaths in Sweden (BAC limit of 0.02) and Denmark (BAC limit 0.05) are both 19%....both interestingly 11% lower than the Oz figure.
Given they have lower alcohol deaths and in one case a much lower BAC limit
it would be fair to say something else is in play.....maybe better driver training? stiffer penalties? Probably worth finding out rather than a nebulous and simplistic "was a factor" argument.
